1835888 - implement cloud environment variable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tecken :: General, task, P2)

Description

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

The migration plan for Tecken requires us to have a single codebase that's being run in two different cloud environments: AWS and GCP. There's a lot of complexity in the requirements such that we need to be able to conditionally enable/disable code depending on which cloud environment it's running in.

For this, we'll need a configuration parameter that's set via an environment variable.

Maybe CLOUD is good? Maybe something different?

Work required here:

1. determine configuration setting name and environment variable name
2. add variable to tecken/settings.py with allowed values AWS and GCP and documentation
3. add variable to settings page in admin so we can see how it's set
4. add variable=GCP to migration guide so we know to set it when setting up GCP infrastructure
5. add variable=AWS to aws infrastructure

We need this before we change how HOSTNAME and metrics work because we need to switch the functionality depending on which environment we're in.
